Grounding the Panel
A termination (for a 10-32 screw) is provided on the panel for a frame ground connection. The
connection must be made in accordance with local and national electrical codes.
1. Locate the ground location on the panel. See
2. Using AWG 14 (1.6mm) solid copper wire, secure a crimp lug to one end of the ground
wire (installer provided). See
. Secure the crimp lug to panel with one 10-32
screw. Torque the screw to approximately 15 pound-inches (1.7 Newton meters).
Caution:
Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention
should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use
of power strips).
3. Connect the other end of the ground wire to the earth ground conductor. Ensure this
connection is made using methods and hardware that meets all applicable local and
national electrical codes.
Figure 8. HDEP Ground Location
Note:
To assure proper operation, the panel should be connected to a good earth ground.
There must be no switching or disconnecting devices in the grounding circuit conductor
between power source and point of connection to the grounding electrode conductor.
